The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 77 of Psalms. Psalm 77 begins with an anguished prayer in which the psalmist seeks God without finding immediate relief. Memory of ancient times then becomes an instrument for reinterpreting the crisis. By remembering the exodus, the waters, the storm, and God’s guidance of Israel, the psalmist regains certainty that the apparently hidden God remains the God who guides his people.

Die Wasser sahen dich, Gott, die Wasser sahen dich und ängsteten sich, und die Tiefen tobten.
Las nubes echaron inundaciones de aguas; Tronaron los cielos, Y discurrieron tus rayos.
Las nubes derramaron agua, los cielos hicieron resonar su voz y tus flechas surcaron el espacio.
Les nuages versèrent de l'eau par torrents, Le tonnerre retentit dans les nues, Et tes flèches volèrent de toutes parts.
Le nubi versarono diluvi d’acque; I cieli tuonarono; I tuoi strali eziandio andarono attorno.
As nuvens lançaram água, os céus deram um som; as tuas flechas correram duma para outra parte.
密雲倒出水來, 天空發出響聲, 你的箭也飛行四方。
